TEST DRIVE - Part 3
Maybe you've been here for a while, or maybe you just got here. Either way, you're all in the same situation - you've been turned into a magical gemstone and stranded in a foreign world! And all you've been left with is the clothes on your back, stripped of all powers except one.
Clearly, you’ll just have to make the best of it.
How this works:
☆ This is a test drive forcosmographia, which means you should get a little familiar with the setting and premise.
☆ Otherwise, this is just meant to help you feel out how you may play and serves mainly as a chill interest gathering and get together kind of post! No app necessary, and you don't need to play in this post to apply - or vice versa.
☆ Everybody is welcome! There are no character limitations; pg au oc canon pigeon whatever. Just toss up a topcomment and/or jump any threads that pique your interest.
☆ This post will remain open until it begins to approach 5000 comments! Then a new test-drive post will be made.
☆ Rules-wise: Be cool to yourself and others, and keep in mind the other game rules too.
☆ If you do apply to the game and are accepted, and you want to keep the CR, you may so long as what you did isn't setting breaking and everyone involved agrees.
YOUR OPTIONS:
☆ You find yourself in the Heart of a ruined temple. There is a large glowing gem that thrums with some kind of rhythm, and jewels scattered all over the room, kept in strange bubbles. At the very least, touching the large gem will give you a standard info-dump, but some of you might be a little cautious about touching weird luminescent gems. Good thing that there are other people there too!
☆ Or perhaps you already know everything there is to know, and are there in the Heart of the Ruined Temple to greet new arrivals. Or perhaps you simply had business there already, like storing away a corrupted gem from a monster, when someone new seemingly dropped in from no where.
☆ It's Farmer's Market day in the plaza of Waverly Bay! Perhaps you're there perusing the goods and strike up conversation, or accidentally bump into someone and get to know them that way. It's a fairly standard day.
☆ There's an event! You don't really know what else to call them - missions, perhaps? But something in the temple was triggered, and the glowy Heart gem has something new to "tell" you: If you want a new power, you should try telling other people two truths and a lie. Those who you interact with must try and divine the lie from your statements.
You have no idea how something this simple will get you a power, but hey.
Clearly, you’ll just have to make the best of it.

What a strange mix of emotions this evokes. So much has changed, and he does... miss a lot about his old life. How much simpler things were back then, for one. He misses the rap battles and the days spent working the turntables, the moments spent lazing around without the weight of the universe on his shoulders.
But he also remembers the resentment, the pressure - an incessant need to impress and be approved of, a need that was never fulfilled. Years spent living in the shadow of a man who was always too cool, too awesome, too skilled to take any real notice of him. The ideal hero up high he could never hope to live up to.]
The piss-soaked bed? Real magnanimous of you, bro.

( He tilts his head to the side. )
I'd offer to switch if I thought your delicate back could handle the hardwood floor. Can't have my lil bro strutting around with a bent back.

So you're taking one for the team. Stuck between a piss-stained mattress and a hard floor and you pick the worse of the two options. Never woulda pegged you for such a martyr.

It's a hard-knock life.

Own the smell. Make it work. Make it yours, which it basically already is since it's your piss.
no subject
Yeah, okay. BRB, telling everybody I'm trying to make eau de piss the next big thing.
no subject
Or some shit. Fuck if he knows. )
Too transparent, lil bro. Reeks of overcompensation. What you do in situations like this is you wait for 'em to catch a whiff of the smell on their own. Maybe give them a chance to really take it in. Let 'em stare at you all wide-eyed, accusatory, demanding an explanation.
And you don't say anything. You just stare 'em right back, look them dead in the eyes. Give them a nod of acknowledgement, a silent, "Yeah, I reek of piss. You got a problem with that?" Trust me on this - they won't even think to question it after that.
no subject
Um.
[do you hear that sound, bro?? that's the sound of the point whooshing right over dave's head.]
I'll, uh. Keep that in mind.
[COUGH let's just change the subject]
You want a tour of the neighborhood?
no subject
More interested in seeing what you've done with your digs.
( Read: worried that Dave's bumming it in a garbage heap of a room, or worse. )
no subject
It doesn't look all that different from my old room. S'almost an exact replica, actually.
